The river I’m by doesn’t freeze solid it just gets some ice along the sides for like a month that are about 1-2 feet wide, then it melts. Curious if anyone’s ever put a castor mound set right on the edge ice like that and had any luck.

This guy kills more Beaver in a year than I will in my lifetime. If he gives advice, I would listen to it and say Thank You. I have nothing clever to put here.
